I Swapped my stock Fiamm horn with another one from Fiamm a-la-CT. The end result? A horn that doesn't sound much different, just a higher pitch/tone. So, 20 bux and some busted knuckles later, I'm wondering what to do next. I want a horn on my car to sound like a Saab or Volvo, or some other european cars. You know what I mean....the higher pitched horn sound, blended together. Maybe I need to get the air horn kit that can be tuned, and operated by a small compressor?

ive always wanted to make it sound euro, but then my aggresive-as-hell bodykit wouldnt alow it.
Nice!
I always wanted to get a new horn like the dukes of hazard or something along those lines
Does anybody know where to get those?

Beat me to it!
Back in the 80's they made ones with 12-20 different musical horns on a control panel. Dixie was one of them. You can find those on eBay, or they have an air horn version on there that usually sells for about $70US, compressor and all.
my friend's girlfriend lives in Mexico and when he goes down there he can get pretty much any horn you want. Air horns or electrical I think he has 3 different ones in his car and they're all nice, kinda corny but funny. I gotta replace my horn I think water or snow got into it cause it sounds like it's under water when I honk.
I think Rich A.K.A. GapBoyPCS swapped his out for a lincoln continental horn. Gezzus it;s loud. :blink:
Crappy Tire actually sells one musical horn that you can play all kinds of crap from, right from a control panel while driving :lol:
And that PIAA horn i'm pretty sure is the same one I was looking at Performance Improvements a few months back when I too was ready to change the horn.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: my horn is dead too! I took it out, looked at it, it was full of water. The horn location is stupid, I'm relocating a new one this week-end. I hope that one last.
ive seen peoples horns play music like "The Godfather" and such... infact, my grandfather wired a horn on his old 'Cutlas many eons ago to play "the cuccaracha" that was a head turner
haha, my uncle had the Cavalry Charge on his 77' impala wagon!
My buddy just put a dixie horn in his van too....
Okay, now if you could get a horn that played anything, what would you have it play?
I'd go for the Road Runners "Meep, meep" since the Focus is closer in spirit to it than the old Mopar product ever was if you ask me :D

isn't that just a honda horn?... meep meep.
and if I could I'd get a horn with ludacris saying " Move bitch, get out the way. " but then I would need spinners?
I bought 2 of those confederation horns off of ebay. One for the Focus, One for the Transam. I hooked up the one in the transam and its dead on dukes of hazzard.
I kinda pissed off the girl at the timmies drive in though.
Girl: Squelch "can I take your order please"
me: yeah I will ha.. *Dukes of hazzard sound off at 118db*.. sorry about that

:blink: Uh, where is the hornpad on a Trans-Am steering wheel again? I'm trying to figure out how you managed to accidentally set it off unless you were leaning forward and to the left while trying to talk into the speaker :lol:
118db?
E-yowtch that'd be loud just walking by when that thing went off NVM getting it broadcast over a microphone and into your ears :ph34r:

Those horn off ferrari's, those horns sound really good. But they probably go for $300.
Maybe I'll just grab a horn off of a Saab 9000 while I am down this weekend and next week...loved the way those sound!
